Viridien has been awarded a comprehensive remote sensing program by Minerals Development Oman (MDO) to identify, map and rank mineralization prospectivity potential across seven concessions, covering a total area of 16,000 km².
Following a series of remote sensing programs conducted to support mineral exploration initiatives, Viridien says that it will now assist with the strategic development of Oman’s mineral resources led by MDO.
Viridien says that its multi-disciplinary team will use machine learning, high-performance computing, advanced processing algorithms and archives of multi- and hyperspectral satellite imagery to create Bare Earth Plus models.
These will be integrated with structural, airborne geophysical, and gamma-ray spectrometry data, to support MDO in identifying the mineral potential in the Samail and Masirah Ophiolites.
